Sudden "UnParsable Date" in a function that has been working fine

Hi guys,

I have had the below function running just fine for a couple of months and then on 19th March, for no apparent reason, I noticed a failure with error code: -

UnParsable date at Line Number: 8

When we actually input the date in the field, it's in the format dd-MM-YYYY, so I tried amending, but same error.

The function is as follows.... (for some reason it's messing up the formatting, so the error is actually on line 8, but it's on line 9 below since it's forcing me to leave row 1 blank!....

  2. leadInfo = zoho.crm.getRecordById("Leads",leadId);
  3. leadEmail = ifnull(leadInfo.get("Email"),"");
  4. //start date and time must be a date/time field. Can't work using a date field alone
  5. startDateTime = ifnull(leadInfo.get("Start_Date_Time"),zoho.currenttime.addHour(1));
  6. //assuming you created another field called Start Date/Time. 
  7. startDateTime = startDateTime.toDateTime("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'+00:00'").toString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'+00:00'");
  8. //please note that +08:00 is my timezone based on GMT
  9. endDateTime = startDateTime.toDateTime("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'+00:00'").addMinutes(30).toString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'+00:00'");
  10. //please note that +08:00 is my timezone based on GMT. Also, if you defined an end date/time field, you can use that instead of hardcoding it like this. Just remember to change the format to ISO using the same method as startDateTime
  11. info "start time: " + startDateTime;
  12. info "end time: " + endDateTime;
  13. meetingTitle = "Viewing";
  14. ownerId = leadInfo.get("Owner").get("id");
  15. eventmap = Map();
  16. eventmap.put("Event_Title",meetingTitle);
  17. eventmap.put("Owner",ownerId);
  18. eventmap.put("What_Id",leadId);
  19. eventmap.put("$se_module","Leads");
  20. eventmap.put("Meeting_Type","Property Viewing");
  21. if(leadInfo.get("Viewing_Type") == "Virtual Viewing")
  22. {
  23. eventmap.put("$meeting_details",{"tool_name":"ZohoMeeting"});
  24. eventmap.put("Meeting_Type","Virtual Viewing");
  25. }
  26. eventmap.put("Start_DateTime",startDateTime);
  27. eventmap.put("End_DateTime",endDateTime);
  28. eventmap.put("send_notification",true);
  29. //put this if you want to send the invitation automatically using the system's defined notification
  30. recipients = list();
  31. recipientMap = {"invited":true,"type":"email","participant":leadEmail,"status":"not_known"};
  32. recipients.add(recipientMap);
  33. eventmap.put("Participants",recipients);
  34. createEvent = zoho.crm.createRecord("Events",eventmap,{"trigger":{"workflow"}});
  35. //the {"trigger":{"workflow"}} is used to trigger any workflow that you have upon the record creation, if any. If not, leave it out
  36. info createEvent;


Thank you in advance for your help.

Best wishes

                                                Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about automatically updating the recent Event date in the Accounts module. This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure.

                                                Welcome back everyone! Last week's function was about changing ownership of multiple records concurrently. This week, it's going to be about scheduling calls for records in various modules. Business scenario Calls are an integral part of most sales routines.. Sales, Management, Support, all the branches of the business structure would work in cohesion only through calls. You could say they are akin to engine oil, which is required by the engine to make all of it's components function perfectly. CRM

This week, let's look at a function that lets you create a Purchase Order instantly from a Quote. Business scenario: In any form of business, one of the most important things to do is to document the transactions. Naturally, negotiation, signing an agreement, placing an order,

This week, let's see an interesting use case asked by many of you - auto-assignment records by round-robin method. Business scenario: Right now, the solution allows you to auto-assign leads from web form and imported lists.
